Russian and Ukrainian delegations held five hours of inconclusive talks near the Belarus border Monday, as heavy Russian bombardment continued in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, and Western countries tightened their financial stranglehold on the Russian banking system.
and froze the bank accounts of sanctioned Russians. Finland, also neutral, said it would send arms to Ukraine.
In response, Russia’s aviation agency on Monday banned flights from dozens of countries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov canceled a trip to Geneva — where the U.N. human rights agency agreed to take up the invasion of Ukraine later this week — although E.U. officials said diplomatic flights were exempted from the airspace ban.
As a number of European countries opened their doors to Ukrainian refugees, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators said they planned late Monday to formally ask the Biden administration to grant a temporary immigration reprieve for Ukrainians already in the United States. Ukrainian officials said at least 11 people were killed and more were wounded in rocket strikes and street fighting in residential areas of Kharkiv on Monday morning. Human rights organizations said the Russians were using cluster bombs, although the Pentagon said it could not confirm that.
Western leaders praised Ukrainians for putting up such a fight, which some said had stymied Russian plans for a quick takeover. Kirby, speaking for the Pentagon, said that “they have made it a tough slog for the Russians to move further south,” and that Russian forces “have not only experienced a stiff and determined resistance … but logistic and sustainment problems.”
